2. Understand the Interface

When you start a new project, you’ll see a split-screen interface:

• Left pane: Where you enter prompts to refine your web application and see your remaining AI credits.
• Right pane: Real-time preview of your app that updates as you make changes. You can toggle between mobile and desktop views.

3. Craft Your Initial Prompt

The quality of your initial prompt determines how well the AI understands your vision. Be specific and include:

• Type of website: (e.g., portfolio, blog, online store, booking system, business site)
• Primary purpose: What visitors should be able to do on your site
• Design preferences: Color scheme, layout style, fonts, and overall aesthetic
• Key features: Contact forms, galleries, product listings, user accounts, etc.
• Content examples: Sample text or descriptions you want included

Example prompt for a freelance web designer:

“Create a modern portfolio website for a freelance web designer. Use a dark blue and white color scheme with a clean, minimalist layout. Include a hero section with a tagline, an about me section, a portfolio grid to showcase projects, a services section, and a contact form. Make sure the site is fully responsive and includes smooth scrolling navigation.”

4. Generate and Refine Your Website

1. Enter your prompt in the left pane and press Enter.
2. Hostinger Horizons will process your request and generate a draft website (usually within 2-5 minutes).
3. Review the generated site in the right pane preview.
4. To refine, enter additional prompts in the left pane such as:
   • “Change the hero section background to a gradient from dark blue to light blue”
   • “Add a testimonials section below the portfolio with space for 3 client quotes”
   • “Make the portfolio grid show 4 columns on desktop and 2 columns on mobile”
   • “Change the font to ‘Inter’ for all headings”
5. The AI will implement your changes and update the preview in real-time.

5. Customize with the Drag-and-Drop Editor

Hostinger Horizons includes a visual editor for fine-tuning:

1. Click on any element in the preview to select it.
2. Use the toolbar that appears to adjust:
   • Text content, font, size, color

   • Layout spacing and alignment
   • Button styles and link destinations
3. You can also add new sections by clicking the ”+” button between existing sections.

• E-commerce: Prompt “Add an online store section with product cards for my design templates” then configure products, prices, and checkout.

Best Practices for Hostinger Horizons

• Start Simple: Begin with a core set of features and add complexity through iterative prompts.
• Be Specific: Vague prompts yield generic results. Describe exactly what you want.
• Use Visual References: Upload screenshots or sketches to guide the AI’s design decisions.
• Test Responsiveness: Frequently switch between mobile and desktop previews during development.
• Track Credits: Monitor your AI credit usage in the left pane - complex refinements consume more credits.
• Save Versions: Use the version history feature to revert to previous states if needed.
• Leverage Templates: Once you create a design you like, save it as a template for future projects (available on Hobbyist plan and above).

Common Use Cases for Solopreneurs & Freelancers

• Portfolio Websites: Showcase your work and attract clients
• Service Business Sites: Promote consulting, coaching, or freelance services
• Online Stores: Sell digital products, templates, or physical goods
• Booking Platforms: Enable clients to schedule appointments or consultations
• Landing Pages: Create targeted pages for marketing campaigns or lead generation
• Client Portals: Build secure areas for clients to access files, invoices, or project updates

Troubleshooting Tips

• If the AI doesn’t understand: Rephrase your prompt with more specific terminology or break complex requests into smaller steps.
• For design issues: Use the visual editor to manually adjust elements that the AI didn’t get right.
• To add functionality not covered by prompts: Check if there’s a specific integration or widget available in the editor’s add-ons panel.
• Performance concerns: Optimize images and limit complex animations for faster loading times.
• Domain connection issues: Double-check DNS settings and allow up to 24 hours for propagation.
